Albany, Dougherty Commissions OK Funding for National Guard Armory Move
Wednesday, January 20th, 2016
In a rare and somewhat historic joint meeting Tuesday morning, the Dougherty County and Albany City commissions supplied the final pieces of the financial puzzle that will facilitate the move of the Monroe Street Command Sgt. Major Billy G. Manning Readiness Center onboard Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany.
Gov. Nathan Deal included $1.1 million of the $1.5 million projected to build the facility at the local Marine base in his supplemental Fiscal Year 2016 budget, and both local commissions passed resolutions at the special called joint meeting to contribute $200,000 each to cover the remainder of the cost.
